Scott I was wandering the same thing as I have never seen mine move.
Does any one know where they are wired into. Could my gauges be broke.

What's the difference between the Amps gauge on the driver's main dash
and DC Charge/Discharge gauges above the co-pilot's head? Don't these
show basically the same thing?

Don, Scott,
What does your Bluebook says about the two gauges? If you don't find the
answer let me know and I'll take a look in our Bluebook

Curt Bill I guess some times just talking about something makes you
figure it out. I had wandered about those two gauges for a while but as long as
the two on the dash were wworking I wasn't concerned with them till Scott
mentioned them. I went out in the coach & turned the battery charger off &
turned on all the 12V lights & then I saw a neg discharge & the coach load
needle showed a draw. So I guess I don't do any dry camping & when we stop for
the night we don't use that much electric. Bill it is like you said overkill I
don't think you need those two gauges. Thanks

Don, Scott
Gauges on the overhead panel BATTERY CHARGE + COACH LOAD= ALT CHARGER
AMPS. If they work correctly.
DC Amp gauge labeled CHARGE shows net output from Battery charger or
alternator to the batteries
DC Amp gauge labeled COACH LOAD shows the amount of 12Volt current
being consumed by coach systems.The sum of these two gauges should
approximate the Alt/Charger amp reading.
I.E. The alternator is feeding the batteries and the coach 's
electrical appetite. If the coach and its batteries are too hungry and
the alternator cannot produce enough feed, then you will be
electrically dead after a while. Confused? don't feel bad, these
coaches are an electrical researchers dream.

Guys:
If you want to see how it is hooked up electrically, I will be posting the
electrical diagram for the 1991charging circuit mid June, I would do it earlier,
but the wife took the computer with her on a vacation LOL
